Stamford Plaza Bridal Beauty

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Sunday 19th July was The Stamford Plaza’s Wedding open day, showcasing their hotel for prospective Brides. We were invited as a preferred Wedding supplier to come and chat to the newly engaged brides. I’ve never seen so much bling in one room, there were so many gorgeous sparkling engagement rings to look at!

We demonstrated Wedding hair and make up on our beautiful model Geo. Brides fell in love with the romantic finger-waved glossy curls and Geo’s peaches and cream complexion. The citrus gold tones used enhanced Geo’s green eyes and we applied Mac Strobe cream under the foundation to give Geo a more luminescent glow. One of our favourite combinations was used on the lips, Powder Room’s Lips with Love Lipstick in “Dreamy” and Lipgloss in “Pink Champagne”.

Movie star, red carpet curls are really popular with our brides this season. What is also really exciting is brides are being more adventurous, we spoke with one bride who is having a Retro 30′s/40′s style Wedding and the bridesmaids are going to be dressed like the characters from “Chicago” musical!


In the last year a revolution has taken place with hair. Blowdryed ripple waves are the main attraction. Hair has an impeccable quality about it, from the 70′s Jaclyn Smith (Charlies Angles) inspired “set” shiny curls to the luxe, bouncy blowdries (using thickening body building lotions). The new styles have a tactile appeal which is why mousse is a must have at the moment or a thermal setting spray. I sometimes think why are long gorgeous curls always so much a hit? It creates an illusion of being 25 forever, long goddess-like locks embody a sexy carefree spirit.


Celebrity’s that have embraced the “Goddess” looks are:
Blake Lively (Gossip Girl)
Scarlett Johansson
Nicole Kidman
Kate Hudson
